Basic Vacuum Hose Q&A

Sorry, but the hose is not available without its ends.

We have a stretch hose that is 7-feet long and extents to 30 feet. You can also buy any basic hose, cut it to any length and reattach the end to it. Ends unscrew off (clockwise), or you can just pull real hard.

You will need this hose https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=383BL since the Basic Hose with button lock is not available. For a bit more money this hose will give you suction control on/off at the handle, full swivel for less kinking, and higher quality construction.

You are looking for our Electric Hose with cord. Both ends will fit the Fasco model and connections you describe. Here are these hoses https://builtinvacuum.com/hoses/electrichoses.html

Hoses are crushproof. When stepped on they bounce right back. The hose end you need is available here in Hose Parts (https://builtinvacuum.com/parts/hose-parts.html). If you need a new hose it sounds like the Basic or Low Voltage Hose will work fine.

You can get the wands here http://www.builtinvacuum.com/accessories/extensionwands.html

We highly recommend a Low Voltage Hose, button lock style. It will fit better in the valves you have now, new and old, and has the button lock, which no Basic Hose has. It is available here in 30ft and 35ft. https://builtinvacuum.com/hoses/lowvoltagehoses.html. Another good reason for this hose is that if it is too tight, it is the one hose you can remove some plastic from for the perfect fit all around.

Yes, the Basic Hose will replace hoses without the metal ring. The key is that the hole in the wall diameter is just about 1.5 inches.

To turn the suction on and off at your fingertips you want to buy a Low Voltage Hose. It fits right into your system. https://builtinvacuum.com/hoses/lowvoltagehoses.html

You are on the right track. Take a look at the Basic Hose photos on this page https://builtinvacuum.com/help/nutone/hoses.html. The hose you have is more like the bottom of the two photos, right? Has a longer metal wall end. This is what you want. It fits into the Nutone inlets that are more or less square framed, not rectangle. Let us know if you have any questions.

We have hoses for Nutone and all systems, no matter their age. The first thing to determine is if you want to upgrade, you don't need to change anything in your home for it. If you have carpet we highly recommend a new Electric Kit such as Stealth, Ace, or BlackHawk. The hose has an 8ft pigtail electric extension cord that comes off the wall end of the hose and plugs into a nearby electrical outlet (extension cords can be used if needed as well). This hose will plug into your existing inlet valves and if the fit is too snug it takes one minute to fix. So when you are vacuuming there is still only a hose to move around, not a hose and an electric cord because the wires are hidden in the ribs of the lightweight hose. Here are the Electirc Kits that fit your system https://builtinvacuum.com/comparison.html. If you truly only need a hose at this time you first need to decide if you need an electric or non-electric hose. You need electric if the carpet brush nozzle used in your home has an electric cord coming out the back of it. If there are no cords involved with your system then buy the Low Voltage Hose, not the Basic Hose. It will fit into the older Nutone inlets and if it is snug can be easily modified in one minute by removing a bit of plastic from the friction ridge on the hose end. Here are Low Voltage Hoses https://builtinvacuum.com/hoses/lowvoltagehoses.html. If you have any questions please let us know.

You need this hose end instead of the one you have. The ends spin/pull off clockwise. Please call us for a special since you already bought the hose https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=300NMCA.

You can cut the hose and reattach it to the same hose (reverse thread, by the way). Or you can buy a new Basic or Low Voltage Hose. You may be able to put in new face plates. Read the text at the Basic Inlet page to determine that.

You have a lot of options. The first upgrade would be to the Low Voltage Hose. It will fit and allow you to control the suction right on the hose handle. The next upgrade would be to the Electric Hose in any Electric Kit. This will give you tremendous carpet cleaning power! Just buy the Stealth with "cord" or any Ace Kit.

Yes this hose and others will fit your system because you have standard inlet valves. At least buy the Low Voltage hose because you can turn the suction on and off at the hose handle and it kinks a lot less. If you have carpet we suggest a complete electric kit with corded hose.

Our Low Voltage with Button Lock will work with your system. If you want to stick with the Basic Hose you will need new #406 Extension Wands without the button lock.

Everyone can upgrade to an electric hose and tool kit. They provide the best cleaning possible with your central vacuum. And they are consistent, don't relay on air power, and they are so much quieter. You can replace your hose with a Basic or Low Voltage Hose but our advice is for a new electric tool kit. They fit right into your system without any modification (we made your vacuum system and it is industry standard as most manufacturers are). An electric cord comes out the wall end of the hose and reaches an outlet with 8ft of the vacuum port. Check them out here at https://builtinvacuum.com/comparison.html.

Yes we have several hoses that work perfectly with your system. There is more information needed to decide which hose though. We need to figure out if it is 110 volt or not, and if the hole in your vacuum port is standard or not. The easiest thing to do is to call us, we help many Sears customers who have been looking high and low for a built-in vacuum hose.

We have the Basic Hose 50ft here with a different hose end if your wall port diameter is 1.25" and not the standard 1.5". https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=304,302-1.25A. If you want a better hose then buy this 50ft hose and push in adaptor for 1.25" diamenter inlet holes https://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=385,302-1.25ST.

You can find Sears Kenmore compatible hoses here, https://builtinvacuum.com/help/kenmore/hoses.html

Yes, it sounds like it can. The inner diameter of the Basic Hose is 1-3/8". We do sell hose couplings on this page https://builtinvacuum.com/parts/hose-parts.html.

the vacuum port on the top front of the vacuum unit itself will receive the basic hose. That hole is 1.5" diameter, or just under.

Try putting the hose into the wall backwards so the suction pulls it out the way it went in. Our hoses fit your wall ports if you need a replacement. For the final cost please use the Canada Checkout button in the cart and enter your address.

The Spartan Central Vacuum System (many times known as Fasco https://builtinvacuum.com/help/fasco.html) should have used industry standard inlets on the wall which mean you can use ANY hose and ANY complete hose and accessory kit. Standard inlets have a round intake hole about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. If there are electrical cords on the hose you will have to buy a complete new electric kit with hose and new accessories since the original hose is not available or repairable. Please use the link above to see all your options. Many Fasco systems are in use and many are still using the original hose and tools. Upgrading is extremely easy and the benefits are so incredible, you'll wonder why you didn't think of it sooner.

This hose replaces the Spiralock Hoses that were made years ago. The new hoses are a better technology.
